Welcome to my mountain state of mind.
Everything’s personal - from the peaks to the posts.

Boots & Banter

Boots get me to the summit. Banter gets me through the existential crisis halfway there.
This is a solo hiker’s journal of motion, madness, and meaning, mostly in that order.

You don’t have to wait for someone to hike with. I didn’t and I’ve been chasing freedom, facing fears, and eating sandwiches alone on summits ever since.

Behind the Banter

This is what hiking solo and laughing at your own blisters really looks like.

Welcome to Boots & Banter - my hiking home on the internet. I’m a solo female hiker sharing the ups, downs, sideways rain, and slightly feral joy that comes with chasing summits alone.

If you’ve ever thought “maybe I could hike that solo…” this space is for you. Expect stories, humour, gear chaos, and a trail of crumbs leading to confidence, one hike at a time.
